Shaquille Leonards' time with the Indianapolis Colts ended abruptly after the team elected to release the former All-Pro LB during the 2023 season. 

And while he may not still be a member of the Colts, he is still showing his love for the city of Indianapolis. 


Leonard's choice to continue events for his Maniac Foundation in Indianapolis shouldn't shock anyone. This is the same man who showed up to hand out turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving to families in need just hours after his shocking release from the team. 

Though Leonard is no longer an active Colts player, the connection between him and the team seems to be in a good place. In the post made by his foundation, as seen earlier in this article, you can see signed Colts footballs as the centerpieces on the tables pictured. He spoke on his current relationship with the Colts and how that won't be going away anytime soon. 

Leonard, still to this day, is a fan favorite in the city of Indianapolis. Not only because of the special plays he made on the football field but also because of the special imprint he has left on the city in the work he did and is still doing in the community. Though the main focus of this event wasn't on Leonard's playing career, he did share an update on where things stand with him currently being a free agent.
